Private Air New York

www.privateairny.com Private Air New York | Spring 2015 44 PROPERTY T his is one of those homes that is possessed of a certain, singular charm. Set in the infinitely alluring village of Southampton against sweeping views and with room to roam, the house and its property exudes warmth and gracious elegance. It's the kind of comely, intimate appeal that only comes through years of Fourth of July weekends, birthdays and anniversaries, holidays and gatherings. Built in 2003 on the grounds of what was once a part of the Murray/McDonnell compound, the house is relatively young, yet seems to have a deeply rooted sense of place and belonging perched against an impossibly mesmerizing – and notably rare – Atlantic Ocean backdrop. "A home and a very special property within a very special enclave, is what this place is," says Tim Davis of the Corcoran Group. Despite being a lifelong Hamptons resident and a career spent showcasing some of the most magnificent properties in the area, Davis's delight at finding a residence that truly has a certain charm – a distinguishable je ne sais quoi, as it were – never grows old. "is home is on a little more than four and a half acres," Davis continues. It faces the ocean, rather than the bay – which in itself is notable. But what is just breathtaking is how much oceanfront the property has." Indeed, the expanse of inviting oceanfront beach stretches for nearly five hundred feet - a rare and coveted attribute in an area where the ocean is the undisputed star of the show. In addition to show stopping ocean views, the residence also boasts views provided by an additional two hundred and thirty eight feet of waterfront, courtesy of the adjacent Wickapogue Pond. e result is a setting nearly surrounded by water and where the undulating ocean, the sky and the wind create an ever-changing kaleidoscope of color and activity… all provided by Mother Nature and all steps from the home's doorstep.
